Quadir Copeland transferring to McNeese St

Yeah seeing the struggles of everyone except Maliq is telling regarding the talent level last year. Bummed for JT though. Such a good kid and plays hard he just lacks the feel for the game at this level.

I mean he starts but only got 14 mins in their most recent game after a mediocre first outing too

Eh, Brown ended up on Duke and Copemand and Williams are failing because of their behavior not because of lack of talent. It's hard for me to complain about our ability to recruit talent with the #6 player in the country on our roster and #15 coming in next year.

I don't understand the rationale of wanting so many guys gone, rejoicing when one side decides to move on and then following their every box score looking for vindication.

Yeah I don't watch exhibitoons I don't even like college basketball anymore after the last 2 march madnesses and it was my favorite sport hands down for decades. Will watch us but even those Duke MSU Kentucky Kansas games will be a chore tonight tbd.

Him and JJ look to be in line for 35 mins per game. I'm nervous we won't get to reserve judgment until Texas should we end up dropping Colgate or Youngstown. Let's see how the do against Texas I guess...

Bell looks stronger and good for 20mpg at the 3 and C and PF looks fine with Jayre Lamp Donnie and McLeod.

Any fan that isn't absolutely terrified of the JJ-Carlos back court after LeMoyne is delusional.

last year there were a lot of bigs but no one could play center or power forward ...uggggggh


this year theres a lot of guards but (potentially) no one can play Point...ugggghh

how do you construct a roster with 5 shooting guards and only 1 (fun sized) PG???

Just speaking for myself but I really wish we still had Q and Maliq. I’m glad the other guys have moved on.

well there were a lot of character issues and poor behavior etc last year...a lot of diva behvior for players that werent backing it up...sefish mentality that was uncoachable despite being "talented"...players also talked a lot of smack on the way out as well. they were so disrepectful to red imo

hard to blame any fan that was paying attention last year, not to be at least a little happy that it was indeed the players that were the issue...

im glad they arent doing anything at other schools...but its also an indictment of reds first year that he went with such a roster...talent identification is a key part of the job...

on the flip side...imagine they were all pouring in stats wth their new teams...how would that make red look?

the jury's still out on red, imo...and if these guys were all lighting it up this year...it would be a poor reflection on his coaching and long term potential

and i wnt red to succeed...hes likeable and a good person...so im happy the former players are struggling and showing that it was indeed a talent deficit last year and not a coaching issue
